Harlan County Lyrics

Artist: Stuart Marty
Album: The Pilgrim

Written by Marty Stuart

Way down in Harlan CountyOn a cold and lonesome nightA tormented man with a gun in his handWent searching for his wifeWhen he found her in another's armsShe began to scream and cryAs he put the gun to his own head,Said it's time for me to die

Her lover begged forgivenessFrom that woman's manI swear to you, she never woreA ring upon her hand

Her husband took a letterFrom his canvas overcoatThen before their eyes he killed himselfAnd here is what he wrote
